    Good takeout Chinese food. They have your food ready quick and the servings are big. They don't have seating and it is only takeout so I can't say anything about the ambience. Prices are not the cheapest but food tastes good.

    So I went off Yelp reviews for a Chinese Restaurant for the quick over the phone order and I am so glad I did There is no fancy decor on the walls, 2 -3 tables in the dining area and a fan that blows cool air. I always say and love "hole in the wall" places, and I am not down talking this establishment, but these restaurants typically put out the best food and this store proved my theory correct. I ordered the House Special Egg Foo Young and so glad I did off the dinner menu. The course was enough for 3 regular serving and every bite back a delay, powerful punch of flavor and delight. The menu is nicely priced. The employees where inviting and friendly. I had ordered my food and it was piping hot. I got it to go and after 30 minute ride is was surprisingly warm enough to plate and eat, no microwave need. 5 stars for a very pleasant experience and I can't wait to go back and try another entree. I would vote this as my favorite Chinese restaurant in Jax!!

    Ok let me start with what I ordered . Sesame chicken, Beef and broccoli , wonton soup, pork eggrolls, Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, and Fried biscuit. So let me start but the menu that is online is not the correct price. With the economy the way that it is I understand. With the cost of food going up every day I get that we're going to smaller quantities. Let me also say that when ordering Chinese food I don't expect much I really only wanted the wonton soup and eggrolls. My family ordered the rest and asked me to try it. Let's start with the steak and broccoli not sure if we can actually say that was steak no flavor at all it taste like you were eating Broccoli tasting meat. Now I understand it's broccoli and steak but there is no steak in this dish. Then let's move on to sesame chicken not sure if this is chicken either. But that's OK cause that's what you come to expect at Chinese restaurants. Absolutely no flavor. not even attempting to cook. Once again I understand not what I expect from a Chinese restaurant I only wanted the wonton soup. Egg rolls are very thin and have no ingredients inside. I am very disappointed in the food quality the taste. all of this cost $57. we ordered it to go to save money and go pick it up. We got that received it paid and left. When we got home we noticed that the fried biscuits were not in there I told her seven dollars. we call and complained and said that we were missing an item they said they had to re-search and check for the receipt. It took almost 45 minutes to an hour for them to call us back. Then they acted like they didn't care and just come back and pick it up. Well I'm not sure if you understand that we passed three other Chinese restaurants to get to yours because we've never tried your cuisine. I will not be returning. The only reason why I give it one stars is because I can't give it zero.

    The food is superb! I appreciate the authentic New York style Chinese fare. Customer service is exemplary as well.

    If I could eat Chinese takeout for every meal I would. I'm not playing around, there's something about it that appeals to all my senses, seemingly around all hours of each passing day. If we were all in a stadium I would be the one to start the MSG chant. Shout out to my boy Luis D. because I specifically came here off his review alone. Aren't Elite Yelpers the best? Now, when I mosied into China Dragon and saw the classic faded photos of Chinese dishes on the menu board, I knew I was in for a treat. Reading the menu, I discovered the phrase, "New York Style," slapped on the takeout menu. Intrigued moreso than I originally was, I placed our order. $20 for two entrees and a spring roll app, yes please! The drive home was absolute torture. The smells overpowered my weak, senseless mindset. Once in the house, it became evident that I might see a higher power upon this meal. Call me crazy, but the fried rice trumps all other Chinese takeout spots I've encountered in Jax - not all, yet many. Not everyone is going to understand my opinion. However, this is my new Chinese takeout joint in town. China Dragon gets a gold star from this guy. Absolutely delicious!

    I ordered general tso chicken and this is my first post on yelp because I was that disappointed. The combination platter had extremely dry chicken and was hard and tough. The egg roll was super small and tasted horrible! the whole meal was bad. I would never go here again. This food was horrible!!!!! I think they bought reviews because if this is the quality of this place, it's no way this place has that many quality reviews!!! IMPOSSIBLE I drove 15 minutes out of my way to eat here based on the reviews and was sadly disappointed. I've never posted a review and this food was so bad I had to write a review. I've had food that wasn't great but this food is the worse!!!!! beware as these reviews are completely inaccurate!

    Tried YH Dim Sum and it totally hit the spot!…read more Everything we ordered was on point the shrimp rice rolls, sesame chicken, and BBQ pork were all so good. Flavor, texture, portion... no notes. The lychee martinis were a highlight (especially since they were doing BOGO ), and the staff made the whole experience even better super fun and great energy. If you're craving dim sum and a good time, this place is definitely worth the stop.

    I love visiting Saint Augustine so I was so excited when I found this dim sum restaurant!…read more Unfortunately I was very disappointed. I was dining by myself. I always order a lot of dishes because I like what I like and I also know I'll have leftovers. I sent back the pan fried taro pudding because it was so bland and it didn't have many of the main ingredients in it. If it were there, it was so skimpy I didn't find any. (The Chinese sausage and dried shrimp) The pain fries soy sauce noodles were overcooked. It's suppose to be pan fried and it was not. Also very skimpy on the black mushrooms. Not very flavorful. The Steamed shrimp dumplings were mediocre. The skin was gummy and fell apart. The shrimp filling wasn't too bad. The shrimp with rice pasta was probably the best dish there. But it was still lacking in flavor. The steamed ribs with black bean sauce was very bland. The ribs were tough and tasteless. The braised chicken feet were over cooked. The texture was horrible like eating mush. The flavors were also off. The egg tarts looked good but the flavors again were off. Borderline going bad. It had that slight aftertaste of sourness. The shell was also flavorless. The BBQ pork buns were also disappointing. The ratio of bread to filling was off. Very small amount. But I was a little happy this happened because the filling didn't taste good at all. The hot tea was also disappointing. I always order jasmine tea when having dim sum. They used a low quality tea bag instead of real loose jasmine tea leaves which also includes the flowers. No fragrance at all of Jasmine tea. Needless to say, I will not be going back on my next visit. It was very expensive for what they give you. Especially since the food was so bad. I gave it two stars because the service was very good and the view was decent. I am Chinese... born in Hong Kong. So I know what dim sum should taste like. I wish I had seen the review that had a photo of the salt and pepper shrimp before I went because I would not have gone. Their salt and pepper shrimp is not authentic and I would have not gone and saved myself $80 for my lunch.

They're at 10586 Old St Augustine Road in Mandarin with a nice size parking lot so their location is great and parking isn't a concern. I'll get to the food in a minute but I'll start by saying that before we opened our fortune cookies at the end, I jokingly said "I hope one of these says 'you will get your original Facebook account back". They didn't say that but I included a photo of both because I feel like they're close enough As far as food goes, we split the Peony Sampler for an appetizer and loved it. It definitely did it's job as a sampler because now we know we like all of their appetizers and would order any of them on their own in the future. I ordered Egg Drop Soup after that because it's a favorite of mine. I always add a little salt to their version of it but I add salt to a lot of soups so that may just be a "me" thing. I had the Sweet & Sour Pork with Fried Rice for my entree, which is the same things had last time and it's still great. Between the appetizer and the soup and the entree, I was hoping to have enough to take home for lunch tomorrow and I definitely did. My wife had the General Chicken. She really liked the sauce because it was sweet but has a little bit of spicy kick to it. She said the same thing I said about the chicken itself; she loved that it was big pieces of juicy white meat. She was also surprised by how much she liked the broccoli which made for one of those things where you could get a bite of everything at once. She also had a lot to take home, so she's happy with that too. Thank you again to the person who posted about Peony in the group recently. We had a great lunch thanks to your reminder.
